sometime in the far future, there will be conservation efforts dedicated to various diseases and people will speak wistfully of smallpox as they do the dodo, today

This is already happening in a way with Anti-Vax.

Arthropods or molluscs are probably going to be the next dominant animals on earth after humans so yeah OP it matters a lot.

I alone can see through the media bias.

I'm also stupid on a scale that can only be measured in Reddits.
Why contain it? Let it spill over into the schools and churches, let the bodies pile up in the streets! In the end, they'll beg us to save them.

it's somewhat of a deal if you contrast it to other modern "causes" such as legalizing weed or pro-life activism.

Honestly, I would let all whales, pandas, eskimos and a thousand other species to die if it meant that I could buy weed legally from a store.

Not caring about animal extinction is pretty similar to not caring about climate change. Both are natural process, both greatly amplified by human disturbance.

prove me wrong GBS.

Well a lot of species that are staple foods, mainly those derived from the ocean, make a huge difference. Seafood makes up a large portion of global food consumption, and overfishing in the EU and Asia have already caused a lot of problems.

We should just go ahead and break the environment enough that humans are culled down to a more reasonable number. If our technological prowess survives the bottleneck the survivors would be in a pretty good scenario.

No need to break the environment. Stop producing oil, natural gas, and coal. Within a year, billions would be dead as we fell towards carrying capacity, and only nuclear, solar, and wind would stop the population from falling to around 2.5 billion, which was the global carrying capacity before all those sources of energy were around.

Animals are thicker than retards, they run around naked they can kill each other without consequence,

they don't do jobs, they crap everywhere. They have no hospitals, or pain medication, they can't read or count (oh wait some crow can count to 4 woah it will be doing calculus next)

fetishing nature or animals is something retards with limited reasoning do.

I'm going to live naturally today *rips off clothes mugs old lady for her sandwich*

remember that documentary about some guy who tried to live with bears? and then the bears ate him and his gf? I laughed so hard at that I poo poo my pants.

nuke the whales, burn their blubber for fuel, cause global warming, melt the polar ice caps, cause the extinction of polar bears, and use their fur as a rug to gently caress on beside a fireplace.

Yeah but they don't have much nutritional value.
